- the pamphlet DE 1 030 370 A discloses cooling tower internals which have trickle surfaces installed vertically, hanging on ledges or held by clamping frames.
- the trickle surfaces are preferably formed from plastic foils, which are arranged at a very small distance from one another. There is the possibility of arranging a labyrinth with a polygonal, such as hexagonal, or round cross-section.
- the pamphlet DE 39 01 656 C2 describes a droplet separator made of plastic or deep-drawn sheet metal for wet cooling towers, which has profile parts which have zigzag-shaped passage channels for the exhaust air. Due to the zig-zag guidance, there is a constant, strong change in direction of the exhaust air, which promotes droplet separation.
- the mist eliminator points to its on and A drip edge on the outflow side, as well as separate, vertically running chutes for draining the condensed water and for maintaining the profile spacing.
- the exhaust air is moved by motor-driven fans.
- the droplet separator described has an extremely complex structure.
- the pamphlet DE 10 2010 035 332 A1 contains droplet separator internals for a natural draft cooling tower with tubular or cylindrical separator profiles. Some of the separating profiles extend transversely to the flow direction of the exhaust air flow, so that water droplets and solid particles also contained in the water hit the separating profile head-on, combine to form larger droplets and drip off.
- the profiles can be designed as cylindrical rollers with a circular cross-section, which have passage gaps that cause an increase in the speed of the exhaust air. As a result, the required separation energy can be provided. Provision is made for several profiles to be arranged parallel and at a distance from one another or also in several planes, for example offset one above the other.
- the dome-, hat- or mushroom-shaped roof construction consists of a multitude of foil or membrane constructions with several air chambers or air ducts, which can be reflectively coated or mirrored.
- the pamphlet U.S. 4,562,015 A discloses a cooling tower having a housing in which lateral openings are provided at the bottom through which air can flow into the housing.
- the housing In an interior area of the housing, above the openings, the housing is filled with a material composed of interconnected layers with an open lattice structure.

- U.S. 4,562,015 A a refrigeration unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the pamphlet AU 463 854 B2 proposes a cooling tower arrangement into which air flows from the side and into which a liquid is injected at the front and above by means of spray nozzles. Inside the cooling tower assembly, a band meanders across the top and bottom provided support rods so that the gas flowing into the cooling tower comes into contact with the liquid on the meander paths of the belt.
- the pamphlet U.S. 3,862,280 A describes a cooling tower structure with cooling layers arranged one above the other in different angular orientations.
- the pamphlet DE 24 34 082 A1 discloses a packing body suitable for mass and heat transfer devices.
- the packing body is composed of several molded layers forming flow channels.
- the individual layers consist of textile fabrics made of thin multifilament or monofilament threads, which are reinforced with thicker plastic threads.
- the textile fabric can be a woven, knitted or non-woven fabric. With permanent deformation, the individual layers are folded in a zigzag shape, favored by the thicker plastic threads.
- Mats made of extremely coarse lattice fabric are used as internals, which are formed from cords twisted or braided from thin fibers. This mat structure prevents a smooth water film that is disadvantageous for the separation.
- the mats can be attached in any direction parallel or transverse to the exhaust air flow, as well as wavy in the cooling tower.
- the mats used are made of a hygroscopic material, which promotes the absorption of water by the mat material.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a refrigeration unit of the type mentioned above, which has a refrigeration unit pack that can be designed particularly flexibly and can be produced with little effort and can be integrated in the refrigeration unit.
- the refrigeration unit pack is intended to provide efficient evaporation and/or separation of liquid contained in an exhaust air flow.
- a cooling unit of the type mentioned above in which the flat textile has a strip-shaped knitted or warp-knitted fabric and a cleaning module for the at least one flat textile is provided in or on the cooling unit, the cleaning module having at least one cleaning chamber and a transport device for transporting the Surface textile has through the at least one cleaning chamber.
- a knitted or warp-knitted, band-shaped flat textile which is referred to in some places below as flat band knitted fabric
- flat band knitted fabric is provided for installation in a cooling unit.
- ribbon-shaped knitted or warp-knitted fabric in the present invention is understood to mean a knitted or warp-knitted textile whose longitudinal extent is many times, i.e. at least ten times or at least fifty times longer than its width, and which is flat is, ie has a multiple, that is at least ten times or at least fifty times greater width than thickness.
- the flat band knitted fabric used according to the invention Due to the band textile structure used in the cooling unit packing provided in the cooling unit, a large surface area can be made available for the moisture of the air flowing against the flat band knitted fabric to be separated off thereon. Despite the large surface area, the flat band knitted fabric used according to the invention has a relatively small volume. This results in a large surface-to-volume ratio of the surface band knitted fabric. This makes it possible to maximize the surface area of the water volume to be cooled when wetting the flat band knitted fabric forming a contact surface.
- the surface band knitted fabric which is wetted with water and surrounded by air, thus enables the formation of a large water-air interface, which creates an almost ideal heat transport through convection and evaporation.
- the mesh and/or loop structure of the strip-shaped knitted or warp-knitted fabric used according to the invention as a surface textile can be designed three-dimensionally in such a way that a particularly large surface area is provided on which evaporation and/or separation of water can take place.
- the surface band knitted fabric can be designed with a low intrinsic weight.
- a cleaning module for the at least one surface band knitted fabric is provided in or on the cooling unit.
- the textile refrigeration unit packing variants according to the invention offer a possibility of guiding the flexible flat band knitted fabric, which is designed in webs, through a cleaning section.
- the separate cleaning module means that chemical cleaning agents, for example, come into contact with the cooling water circuit, even if they are used in high concentrations, and that there is no risk to the environment during the blow-down process.
- the cleaning module has at least one cleaning chamber and a transport device for transporting the flat textile through the cleaning chamber.
- a cleaning chamber separate from the refrigeration unit packing has the advantage that harmful waste products of the cleaning do not get into the cooling water circuit, which offers a huge advantage from an ecological point of view.
- the cooling unit according to the invention can be manufactured without great effort.
- the refrigeration unit pack can be easily integrated into a cooling tower, for example.
- the surface band knitted fabric can also be designed variably and flexibly in terms of its dimensions and its structure and thus meet the special requirements of the respective application. An incorporation of additional functional elements into the surface textile can be implemented without great additional effort and without loss of surface, which means that new fields of application can be opened up.
- the surface textile has alternating areas of different densities, the different densities being formed by different mesh structure(s) and/or layer structures of the knitted fabric.
- the strip-shaped knitted or warp-knitted fabric used as a flat textile has areas with a lower density in which the knitted or warp-knitted fabric has a loose mesh and/or loop structure. In these areas of lower density, an advantageous flow of the counterflowing air in the cooling unit is possible through the surface textile. An increase in the extraction energy of the exhaust air can thus be avoided.
- the surface textile has areas of greater density, in which the mesh and/or loop structure has a large structured surface compared to the areas of lower density, which allows for evaporation and separation of liquid contained in the exhaust air supports the knitted or warp-knitted fabric.
- the flat band knitted fabric has alternating evaporation areas and flow-through areas.
- the density of the textile in the evaporation areas is at least five times greater than the density of the textile in the flow-through areas.
- the evaporation area Due to its denser fiber structure compared to the flow-through area, the evaporation area forms a very large surface on which an optimal heat transfer from the cooling water to the air and/or droplet separation can take place.
- the structurally relaxed flow area serves to ensure that the speed of the exhaust draft is not significantly reduced, whereby the throughflow energy is retained and sufficient energy is available for the cooling process in the countercurrent process. Due to the alternating arrangement of evaporation and condensation areas, an optimal distribution of condensation and flow areas is achieved without having a negative impact on the flow behavior.
- the flow-through areas have a stabilization structure, such as a textile structure made of fibers or materials that are stronger or thicker than the fibers or materials of the flow-through areas, such as a stabilizing fabric, for example, in order to give the flow-through areas the necessary mechanical stability. so that the speed of the exhaust air draft is not affected.
- a stabilization structure such as a textile structure made of fibers or materials that are stronger or thicker than the fibers or materials of the flow-through areas, such as a stabilizing fabric, for example, in order to give the flow-through areas the necessary mechanical stability. so that the speed of the exhaust air draft is not affected.
- Evaporation and flow-through areas preferably alternate in a honeycomb, stripe-like and/or checkerboard pattern, whereby the knitted or warp-knitted fabric stabilizes itself and the speed of the exhaust air draft is also only slightly reduced, as well as evaporation from the wetting surface formed by the surface textile and/or a Separation of drops on the surface textile is favored.
- the surface of the flat textile used according to the invention can be made particularly large if a knitted or warp-knitted three-dimensional spacer structure is used as the knitted or warp-knitted fabric.
- a knitted or warp-knitted three-dimensional spacer structure is used as the knitted or warp-knitted fabric.
- the flat textile is designed in the form of waves, layers and/or folds, as a result of which an optimal utilization of the area of the internal volume of the cooling tower is achieved. Due to the fact that the available area is very large due to the corrugated and/or folded shape of the surface textile, a lot of liquid can be extracted and separated from the exhaust air when the cooling unit according to the invention has a drop separator function. An environmentally harmful raining down of small droplets and substances contained therein from the exhaust air leaving the cooling unit can be avoided. For the application as a refrigeration unit packing also applies that a corrugated.
- Layer and / or fold-like arrangement of the textile webs of the band-shaped knitted or hosiery can be used to make maximum use of the existing volume between the air inlet opening and cooling water trickling nozzles of the cooling unit.
- a distance is provided between the individual webs.
- the surface textile is provided on a carrier which extends horizontally and has carrier elements spaced apart from one another. Furthermore, it is advantageous if stiffening elements are incorporated into the surface textile. Thereby, sufficient strength can be imparted to the band knitted fabric to keep it in a laid shape.
- the carrier elements as well as the stiffening elements also serve to fix the surface textile.
- the flexible formability of the flat knitted fabric used according to the invention as a flat textile makes it possible to install the flat textile at different points, with different extents and/or with different angular alignment to the exhaust air flow in the interior of the cooling unit.
- the possible design of the surface textile in the cooling unit can be determined by the design of the carrier and/or stiffening elements.
- the flat band knitted fabric can be hung, for example, on the carrier and/or stiffening elements.
- the support elements have support struts which extend radially from a support mount in the direction of an inner wall of the refrigeration unit.
- the radially arranged carrier struts can be arranged, for example, similar to the rotary clothes dryer principle. Both the carrier holder and the carrier struts attached to it give sufficient support even to a damp and therefore heavy surface textile.
- the support elements have support bars which extend longitudinally and parallel to one another. This creates a lattice-like support structure, through which the flat strip knitted fabric can be stretched optimally in the interior of the cooling unit and stabilized in its desired position despite the absorption of moisture.
- the one consisting of the support beams The grid system can be designed in such a way that the exhaust air draft is not significantly restricted.
- the installation of the grid system in the refrigeration unit is relatively simple.
- transverse struts are inserted between the support struts and/or the support bars.
- the flat textile is round, star-shaped or band-shaped. Due to the manufacturing process of the flat textile, namely knitting or warp-knitting, it is relatively easy to realize any shape.
- the surface textile can be optimally adapted to the structure of a support network consisting of support struts and/or beams.
- the flat textile is composed of a number of individual textile elements in such a way that the cooling unit packing has a round, star-shaped or band-shaped surface area overall.
- the construction of individual textile elements has the advantage over a one-piece construction that both the individual textile elements and any form of design can be easily implemented and individually replaced.
- the use of several textile elements facilitates assembly and disassembly into and/or out of the interior of the refrigeration unit, which means that any maintenance times that may occur can be reduced. It is also possible for the textile refrigeration unit pack to be designed so that it can be rolled up.
- the flat textile has a textile strip made of a mesh structure, such as a three-dimensional or gallon structure, which is laid around carrier elements in a wavy or meandering manner.
- the production of the textile tape is very inexpensive.
- it is a mesh structure that can be used very flexibly.
- the available surface area of the cooling unit can be optimally utilized thanks to the wavy or meandering guidance.
- At least two textile strips guided in parallel around the carrier elements can be used as refrigeration unit packing.
- the lattice spacing of the carrier elements is chosen so that the individual, parallel textile strips do not touch, in order to avoid mutual interference.
- the surface textile has cavities surrounded by fibers and/or threads of the surface textile in the manner of a lattice.
- Weighting bodies and/or filter bodies and/or means for cooling water conditioning and/or chemical preparations can be provided in these cavities.
- the integrated weighting bodies enable the surface textile to hang and/or float precisely on the carrier elements in the desired wave and/or fold design. This prevents the flat textile from sliding over one another and/or the layers from interfering with one another in their evaporation or flow-through function.
- Mineral weighting bodies are preferably used as weighting bodies.
- Galvanizing weighting bodies can be used to counteract corrosion of metal weighting bodies, or as a sacrificial anode for the cooling water system of the cooling unit.
- filter bodies are incorporated into the surface textile.
- these filter bodies allow the refrigeration unit packing to filter out harmful substances from the exhaust air, as a result of which the environmental impact of harmful substances contained in the exhaust air can be reduced.
- chemical preparations can be worked into the cavities of the surface textile. These chemical preparations can neutralize pollutants and mineralogical substances and/or prevent deposits on the inner wall of the cooling unit and pollution of the environment.

- the cleaning module 6 consists in the embodiment of FIG figure 7 from a cleaning chamber 61, from carrier elements 4 and a transport device 62, which puts the textile belt 38 in a constant, circulating movement B.
- the cleaning agent 63 is located in the cleaning chamber 61, separate from the remaining part of the cooling unit 1. Due to the physical separation of the cleaning module 6 from the cooling circuit of the cooling unit 1 provided in the container 68, contaminated cleaning agent 63 is prevented from entering the cooling circuit of the cooling unit 1 and in this way pollutes the environment.
- the textile belt 38 can be continuously freed from legionella and/or other biological, mineral and organic deposits. This can prevent such deposits from settling on the refrigeration unit packing 2 and these deposits having to be removed in costly and time-consuming cleaning operations.
- a reservoir 70 is provided for collecting water, the collected and cooled cold water 67 being able to be discharged via a channel 71 .
- FIG 8 shows schematically a further option of a cooling unit pack 2 with additional weighting bodies 50, filter bodies 51, cooling water conditioning agents and/or chemical preparations 52 incorporated into the flat band knitted fabric 3.
- weighting bodies 50 are incorporated into the relatively light flat band knitted fabric 3, which can be a textile band 38.
- the weighting bodies 50 can be used to bring the textile strip 38 into an exact hanging position and to prevent adjacent parts of the textile strip 38 from being obstructed.
- filter bodies 51 can also be incorporated into the textile strip 38 or as an alternative to the weighting bodies 50 , which filter bodies 51 can effect additional cleaning of the evaporation liquid in addition to the cleaning module 6 .
- chemical preparations 52 can support the cleaning process, provided that pollution of the environment can be ruled out.
- the weighting bodies 50, the filter bodies 51, the cooling water conditioning agents and/or the chemical preparations 52 are incorporated into the interior of the textile belt 38, they do not reduce the surface area of the textile belt 38 available for evaporation or droplet separation.
